Standard rehabilitaion after ACL reconstruction

"The SR group, consisting of 12 participants, underwent a standard rehabilitation program twice a week for 12 weeks. Each session lasted approximately 60 minutes and was conducted by the same therapist.~After 12 weeks of rehabilitation, effectiveness was evaluated using standard tests. Before rehabilitation involving kinesiotherapy (two weeks post-surgery), the following measurements were conducted:~Height and body weight Thigh circumference measurements Assessment of muscle and tendon stiffness Body composition evaluation~After the rehabilitation the following measurements and assessments were conducted:~Body weight Thigh circumference measurements Assessment of muscle and tendon stiffness Body composition evaluation Evaluation of the strength of knee extensor and flexor muscles under isokinetic conditions Evaluation of knee extensor strength under inertial conditions Postural stability assessment"

Standard rehabilitaion after ACL reconstruction plus inertial exercises

"The SR+I group, consisting of 12 participants, underwent a standard rehabilitation program twice a week for 12 weeks including inertial exercises. Each session lasted approximately 70 minutes and was conducted by the same therapist.~Subjects also performed inertial exercises from the fifth week of rehabilitation. These exercises were conducted on an InerKnee. The inertial exercises protocol included: knee extension exercises performed in a seated position for the operated leg, 4 sets of exercises, each lasting 15 seconds individually, adjusted resistance to maintain a 1-second extension cycle, passive rest periods of 2 minutes between sets After 12 weeks of rehabilitation, effectiveness was evaluated using standard tests the same as in SR group."
